TEDxNITKSurathkalSalon - Trailblazers
2020-10-17 17:00 - 18:00 | Virtual
TEDxNITKSurathkalSalon
We often find ourselves walking predefined trails with the promise of what is socially defined as success. Trails surrounded by walls of preconceived notions and expectations that limits our perspective and muffles other inspiration.
Seldom do we find the courage to demolish these walls and blaze our own trail. To walk down roads few dare to follow, often dark and unexplored only to be the ones who create the light at the end of the tunnel.
TEDxNITKSurathkalSalon presents Trailblazer, where we shine the limelight on students like us, but those who heard a different calling and had the courage to listen. Join us as we light up and navigate these unconventional trails and be part of a whole new generation of Trailblazers, the most daring one yet.
Speaker Line up – Vishak Nair, Sonia Thiyam, Adhitya Iyer, Bipin Dhane
